Club career

Hailing from Kristiansund, he came through the ranks of talent factory Clausenengen before joining first-tier club Brann in 1987. [2] [3] After two seasons there, he took two seasons in Molde and one in Hamkam. [4] In 1993 he spent several months on free transfer before joining third-tier club Averøykameratene in March. [5] He did however manage to return to the top flight with Vålerenga, where he stayed until the summer of 1997 when he was loaned out to Skeid. He was also loaned out to Clausenengen in the spring of 1998 before venturing to Greek football and Panionios. He made 16 appearances in the 1998–99 Alpha Ethniki, scoring one goal. [6] Requiring surgery on the cartilage in both his heels, he returned to Norway after one season. He made a brief comeback in Clausenengen and spent time training with Strømsgodset IF in June 2000. [7] [8] He later alleged that his time in Greece had been marred by the wide prevalence of match fixing. [9]
